Fuji M321SP Betacam Tape

UVW-1800/Error Messages

By Peter1 - usenet poster


Thank you in advance for your assistance!

We are experiencing a problem with our UVW-1800 sony Beta SP deck. After
blacking a tape it rewound automatically and when we pushed eject the
tape jammed inside (tape as expected was off the head and wound back
inside the cassette with cassette door open) and did not eject. The
error message in the display read "Error20-911". We removed the front
panel and manually turned the yellow gear on the inside right which
brought the tape up and out of the machine. Now when we insert the tape
the mechanism will not engage and we get a "21-1C1" error and then after
about 15 seconds the error changes to "20-111"

Question (s): Has anyone experienced similar problems, does anyone know
what the error messages mean and or is there a sony site that lists
these messages meanings?

Thanks again!

we refuse to use ampex tapes in our 1800's. 30/60/90 all seem to have
problems with slack, causing tape errors that require manula unloading.

no more ampex,

When you remove the top lid, you will find instructions for freeing a jammed
tape or at least pointers on accessing the instructions.  As I recall it's
something like prssing the left arrow and the menu button similtaneously to
access the maintenence/service menu.  It then asks you questions about your
tape jam and depending on your yes/no answers, the machine performs
self-diagnostics and prompts you what to do next.

It amazes me that not a single person actually bothered to answer the
poor guy's question before posting their stuff.

Anyway: some of the error messages will be explained to you by the machine
when looking at a monitor connected to the SUPER video out, you know, the
one you normally use when making window dubs. Make sure you have the
character switch on. This will give you at least a basic message of what
sort of error you're dealing with. Beyond that, maybe calling on a repair
guy who deals with UVW-1800 would give you more information. I can put you
in touch with one if you don't mind making a long-distance phone call.

I hadn't heard that Doug, but will keep it in mind. We're using Fuji
M321SP  30's and 20's.

Thanks a lot!

I've heard that Ampex tapes have been trashing mechanisms in 1800s.  Perhaps
that's your problem?
